Welcome To My Portfolio
I’m glad you have found The Moser Files, a digital portfolio of things remembered and maybe a few things that some would advise me to forget. You will find evidence of struggles, successes, some failures, and reflections on life. A professional portfolio is usually a biography designed to promote a job applicant and impress a hiring manager. That is not what you will find here. As you look around at the pages of my life, you will see that I have nothing to sell. In fact, I’m giving away memories, experiences, and possibly some advice. I spent much of my legal career getting paid for advice to public officials, private clients, churches, friends, and even family. A word of caution to my readers: I’m retired and no longer a licensed lawyer in Washington, or any other state, so anything you read here is not to be taken as legal advice.
